Mr.. Ford was followed by w. T. Adam,
of Paris township. who said he had been
for the discussion. From early associations
he was a rote, onist He thought tae
theory Of pfO..0slon was founded on truths
| as essential and lasting as those contained
| in the Declaration OF Independence. He
| WAS not prepared TO reply TO Mr. Ford 5
argument further than 10 say that he believed
that in drawing lis conclusions Mr. Ford
| had left out OF nis calculations the proaucts
| which oanRot be transported to tereisn
4 a - t.e
| would confine the pay rolls of this country
TO this side of the Atlantic and 10 citizens
OF the Unitel States. He would have moth
| ing 10 say as 10 the present prosperity OF
| the farmers.
Aaron Clark, Of this city, was the next
| speaker He is very rapid talker, always
! Interesting. and while he iuede some state
| raents that were so absurd as TO be ridicu-
| lOus, he also advanced some of the strongest
| argumsnts that the proteclionists can pro
| duce. He began by saying thar il was no
| longer a mystery 10 him that Ar. Ford was
e ected 10 Congress. Dir. Ford was entitled
TO the plsce because of his ability 10 build q
strong argument upon a defective founda-
ton. de knew That protection was right,
| just and beneficial TO the whole country.
but Mr.. Ford xearnestness and eloquence
| had almost convinced against his judgment.
One of the strongest proofs that a Proteclv ve
| tariff is beneficial TO the country Is the fact
that when We have low tariff business oi
al kinds Is depressed, while VIXEN we have
| high tariff business Dooms. Mr.. Ford had
| riCiculed the idea OF protecting infant in
| dustries. which we're established nearly one
| hundred years ago. He would remind the
honorable gentleman that when compared
| With Europe this whole Eation is but an
infant And then il is net those old insii-
tutions that need protection, 5ui
the new infant manufacture:
which are spring up all over the West and
in the New South, of which we have read
50 much lately. Here he wished 70 say il
reply TO the claim that free trade ideas ere
spreading and growing. that AF. Ford was
mistaken. In the South ri least the pro
lection theory is growing With the growth
and development Of the country. As ths
people there see what protection has done
for the North they naturally conclude ths
they want some OF il. lie claimed ths
protection. while II benefited msnufsc,uF
ers had reduced prices 70 consumers. Al
illustrations OF this be mentioned reiircac

DO not buy that class OF goods.
Mr. Ford replied 70 Mr.. Clark, briefly
and then few minutes ~ere spent Ia 81

rzngsmepts for further discussion Of To-
Subject we're announced. haiti VII probably
